Worker shortage hurts farms in California
Kevin Steward, a grape grower, cites difficulty hiring seasonal labor as anti-immigration laws and border drug violence shrink the pool of Mexican workers. Farm officials say California's Central Valley faces a 20 to 30 percent drop in cherry harvest labor, with Rutledge Farms fielding 60 workers for what normally would need 80 to 90. The region remains a major agricultural hub for dairy, wine grapes, tree nuts, and cherries.
